We were looking for a fun activity while we were on a girls trip to Orlando . We decided on Catboat Escapes in Clermont which was just 25 min from our hotel. This is definitely worth what they are charging even without with the FREE photos and bottles of cold water. They don’t try to nickel and dime you like most other places. I would HIGHLY recommend this!! We had a great time, although at the start I was thinking I might not be able to drive the boat and should switch places with a passenger!!!! In less than 10 min I was extremely comfortable and having a great time driving the boat. The guide was very interesting and entertaining. He had some entertaining trivia and interesting historical stories. We also had some free time to just open up the throttle and enjoy the lake at our leisure. We were given a decent amount of time to just freestyle around the lake… so much that I thought maybe my radio wasn’t working and he called the boats in, but he was still sitting and watching us all enjoy the lake. We got to see where some scenes from Waterboy were filmed too. Our guide took some pictures before and during the trip of each of us and emailed them to us after the trip.. while they are not professional photos, they were great pictures and about the same quality as others that I have paid for. Best of all they were free and we could download them. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we all agreed that we would do the trip again. I don’t write many reviews but felt compelled to write one for this. Clermont is beautiful with the rolling hills and the large lakes. If not for the amazing weather I wouldn’t believe I was in Fla. There is no better way to enjoy the lake and connecting creeks than on a craigcat power boat with catboat escapes!!!

A very fun experience. Tour guide/owner Nate was very helpful with the boat operation tutorial. He also gave a comprehensive narrative on the history of the different waterways. The boat was very easy to operate and provided an exciting ride. The gorgeous Florida provided perfect conditions for the beautiful scenery. This tour is well worth the money. We had a great time.

This is a great trip! Touring the chain of lakes and also some time to drive around a lake on your own. Nate was a great guide. We will be doing this again for sure!

Awesome trip through three separate lakes with very beautiful interlinking waterways. Lots of fun information from our guides (who are also stuntmen), and a combination of quiet serene sailing and exciting speed boating. These little boats are serious fun. Guides were very thorough about safety and instructions, and always there to help if needed. We highly recommend this experience and company.

This tour was the best part of our Orlando vacation by far. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. The lakes/cypress marshes were beautiful, and the boats were thrilling. I have never driven a motor boat before, but these catamarans were easy to learn, very stable, and exciting. Since the boats only carry two people, the tour felt very private. The tour guide has a radio where he can tell you what is going on and your passenger has a radio to report any concerns, but otherwise, it is just the two of you in your boat either cruising at an easy pace amongst beautiful scenery or racing across lakes at up to 30 mph and feeling some of the lakes splash onto your feet and face. We would love to do this again and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys being outside and wants a little controlled excitement on their vacation.

Amazing morning with the guides. Our family of 6 had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed driving the boats and exploring the waterways. We would highly recommend!

My son and I did the Tour of Lakes Escape while we were in Florida for a football game. It was the last day of our trip and we were on our way back to Tampa to catch our flight home later that day, so we booked the morning time slot. I'm glad we did, too, because we ended up getting our own personal tour, since we were the only ones booked for that time slot. The noon tour right after ours was sold out, but the morning tour was just us and Nate! It was a beautiful morning, the weather was perfect, and the scenery was outstanding. I drove the catboat while my son (age 11) held the camera and took pictures. Nate was a terrific host and guide - knowledgeable as well as courteous and friendly. And since we were the only ones booked for that time slot, once the standard tour was done, he left it up to us to decide how we wanted to spend our remaining time. Many people rave about zipping across the open water at top speed, and yes, that's definitely fun. But with me being a hiker, explorer, biologist, and photographer, what I personally loved was seeing the beautfiful scenery along the Crooked River, so Nate allowed us extra time to go explore that area some more, and took us further into it than the tour usually goes. I really appreciated Nate allowing us extra time to explore that area further, and we got a lot of great pictures. Nate also emailed a couple of pictures he took of us during the tour as well. We had plenty of time to explore the remote areas, which made me happy, and we still had plenty of time for zipping across the lakes at top speed, which made my little boy happy. Catboat Escapes gets a lot of good reviews, and I want to add mine to the list. The next time we find ourselves in central Florida, I hope we can do it again.

The guides were great. They did an excellent job with introductions and an overall explanation of the event. The heated seats were just what we needed for our cool weather day.

The catboats were so much fun to drive. The lakes were beautiful and the Cypress trees were gorgeous . Looks like a movie. So much fun with Grace and Nate. They are excellent guides. You must do this!
